How many people--family, friends and acquaintances--can you list who have suffered from heart disease or stroke?? How many have had sudden cardiac arrest? In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive. Most of the time, it’s because no one nearby performed CPR. But together, we can change that. Did you see Damar Hamlin suffer cardiac arrest on the football field? It was January 2, 2023, during a Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, when he collapsed after a hit to his chest. Only CPR, an an atrial debibrillator and trained medical staff and trainers brought him back.
Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. Heart Walk brings communities together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Donor dollars fund the teaching of hands-only CPR. Donate, but do more. LEARN hands only CPR in the next 4 months.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
